MAGA Donors Panic Over Trump's Secret Plans for Their $300M

MAGA donors and Republican operatives are on the verge of “panic” as President Donald Trump’s war chest sits largely unspent ahead of what is expected to be a GOP midterms bloodbath, a new report alleges.

Fears are growing among donors and strategists that Trump, 79, will not bolster his party by spending big in the midterms but will instead hold onto it for “legacy building” projects, sources tell Politico.

MAGA Inc. has raised $333 million and spent just below $9 million in the period between Trump’s January 2025 inauguration and March. The Super PAC had just shy of $350 million in cash on hand as of March 31, according to FEC filings.

“My strong inclination is no—he’s not going to [use the money to help get Republicans elected],” a former Trump adviser told Politico.

Maybe they’ll get pissed enough to turn off the spigot. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

And he’s going to use it to make himself feel better. They are quite stupid if they don’t know that about Trump by now.
